New Zealand’s Internet television network Ziln is available on Sony Internet Televisions.
Ziln had been operating since September 2009 and carried 25 free channels of on-demand New Zealand content, including music, sport, documentaries, fishing and hunting, Archives New Zealand’s classic newsreels, Sony New Zealand said.
Sony Television was an Internet Protocol Television service available across a range of Sony televisions, BluRay players an home theatre systems, it said. Ziln joined other services on the Sony platform including Music Unlimited, Wiggle Time TV and Moshcam.
The service worked off a user's WiFi and existing broadband plan, a Sony New Zealand spokesman said.
Sony Telvision offered New Zealanders a gateway to a large amount of on-demand content, Sony New Zealand general manager marketing Matt Walton-Smith.
“And now with Ziln as a channel partner, the range of programming has grown significantly with Ziln even offering New Zealanders the chance to create their own IPTV channel”.
Ziln was chosen because it was a great New Zealand story, the spokesman said, which had a lot of good content channels.
Ziln director Paul Brennan said it was exciting as it meant Ziln grew from being an Internet TV Network accessible via home computers to being a lean back, full screen lounge room experience.
Ziln also allowed people to create their own Internet TV channel, Sony New Zealand said.
“So expect to see more channels launching over the coming months.”
